To be honest, I used to be really focused on the reviews of food and would get myself so stressed out trying to find a food that didn't have any ingredients that were controversial or had the highest review. However, in the last year I have come to realize that Sophie's response to the food is far more important than the review.
My husband and I decided last year when Sophie was sick that we were going to stop worrying about finding her "the best" because quite frankly most of "the best" foods were making her sick or she flat out refused them. We finally have found one that she seems to enjoy, her coat is healthy, good bowel movements, good energy and she went from refusing food once-twice a week to roughly twice a month.
A lot of people use Science Diet on here, we had considered using the Ideal Balance but I can't remember why we went with the food she is on now (I think it had to do with chicken though). So honestly, if you have found a food that your dogs enjoy and are doing well on, I would just stick with it.
We have had to change Sophie's food so often that she now gets tired of her food very quickly and wants a new kind. So, I would just keep them on a food they enjoy and are tolerating. |
